Hey everyone, i am also a newbie domain name investor and i have so many questions in my head!

One such question is regarding same domain names that have different extensions. So for example, if John A owned BrandTraffic.com, would he be able to stop me from registering and selling BrandTraffic.co.uk?

Please can someone help with this query? Many thanks!

They couldn’t stop you ‘unless’ their domain is a trademarked name, then the chances of them stopping you would greatly increase.

An important FYI on this, is don’t waste your money and time ‘ever’ on registering trademarked names!!! It’s a losing cause!

Only 2 sales listed on NameBio for this extension, both over 12 years ago, so probably not a good or worthwhile extension to waste money on.

Domain Price Date Venue
sex.net.pl 1,904 USD 2008-12-23 Sedo
hotel.net.pl 1,360 USD 2007-12-13 Sedo

Great idea for a thread, thanks!
QUESTION: I am new to domaining and I was wondering about the domain valuation tools online and why there is such a massive discrepancy between them? I know that I should take their results with a bucketful of salt and I know that each tool probably uses different AI or algorithms etc to assess a domain and they cant place value on what humans would consider brandable.
Is there anyone tool that you found to be more accurate in reality than the others or should they all be ignored entirely?
Example:
I recently purchased a brandable 5L . com domain from godaddy auctions. I ran it through 3 tools just to check. Results below:

Estibot: Less than 100$
Go Daddy: 1304 $
Free Valuation: 22, 640$

Looking forward to any insights you have
Thanks

Thank you for the response and clarifying this query for me! And duly noted about not messing with other people's registered trademarks.

Here's another question:

How soon can i sell or auction off a domain name after registering it? I've read somewhere that there is some kind of 60 day lock period??

You can sell it right after you register it. But if the register where you regged it has 60 day lock periods, then you can only push it to an account at the same register. You can't transfer it out to another register.
